System Design

The applied lighting control strategy determines the basic methods used to

control the environment. When formulating an overall strategy, there are some

basic considerations:.

 New construction and major renovations provide the opportunity to

easily run control cables from user interfaces to the control processor

when the walls are open.

 Existing construction or minor renovations often make the task of

running cables more difficult, time consuming, expensive, or even

impossible (in historic landmarks, etc.). In this case, you may choose

to install a partialyl or completely wireless system

 Light level control is achieved through dimming controls and daylight

management, where applicable, to adjust the lighting to the

appropriate level for different occupant activities

 Occupancy sensing is used to switch the lighting on and off,

independent of time intervals or scheduled periods. This allows the

space to be responsive to individual use, and conserves energy

 Scheduled lighting is determined by time of day, day of week,

vacation, outdoor lighting, and safety lighting requirements. An

astronomical clock (programmed with sunrise and sunset information)

is often used to provide natural lighting transitions

 HVAC control should be part of the overall control strategy, permitting

additional economic and convenience benefits

Crestron Residential Lighting Design Guide System Design

Doc. 5999F 4

Lighting System Design Types

There are many ways in which a Crestron lighting control

system can be organized. Construction type, client

requirements, architectural restrictions, and many other

factors determine the best solution. In general, retaining

Crestron control design flexibility produces the most

reliable results.

Wireless Systems

The groundbreaking Crestron infiNET wireless technology

provides reliable 2-way communications throughout a

home or commercial structure without the need for

physical control wiring. Crestron infiNET products offer a

unique solution for retrofit projects. By replacing existing

controls with infiNET switches and dimmers, provisions

for automatic shutoff and overall control can be

implemented with minimal changes to the existing wiring.

Employing a 2.4 GHz mesh network topology, every

infiNET device functions as an RF repeater, increasing

effective range and reinforcing the complete network by

providing multiple redundant signal paths within the mesh

network. Adding more infiNET devices or repeaters to the

network effectively increases the range, strength, and

reliability of the network.

Advantages of RF wireless control start with reduced

capital and operating expenses. Wireless control can save

as much as 30 to 40 percent on installation and material

costs compared to a wired control system, making this

option attractive for retrofit as well as new construction.

Installation costs are reduced because RF devices can

be replaced one to one without involving control wiring.

Crestron infiNET Wireless System

Centralized Wired Systems

A centralized system is one in which all the high-voltage

circuits are terminated within a Crestron automation

enclosure and operate under a central control system. In a

centralized design, the high voltage lighting, fans, motors

and switch circuits are individually wired directly to the

control modules in the Crestron automation enclosure.

The modules are controlled by low voltage or RF user

interfaces in the living area. This greatly simplifies the

high voltage wiring while creating a flexible and efficient

design using keypad and touchpanel interfaces.

A central processor, connected via a local area network to

the lighting modules and the user interfaces, is dedicated

to lighting, fans, motors, HVAC, and security. Processors

that are dedicated to other control systems can

communicate via Ethernet, RS-232 or RS-422 to the

central controller. This eliminates the need for additional

control that separate safety and environmental systems

and is a flexible, fully integrated design solution.

A Centralized Wiring System

System Design Crestron Residential Lighting Design Guide

Doc. 5999F 6

Decentralized Wired Systems

A decentralized system is the traditional wiring system

of individual lighting circuits with local control. In the

traditional distributed design wiring method, Crestron wall

box dimmers can be retrofitted into a project after routine

high voltage wiring is completed.

In addition to the traditional high voltage wiring, a low

voltage communication wire can be run from the dimmer

to the nearest Cresnet® connection (or an RF wireless

control can be used). This design offers the end user the

familiarity of a traditional control coupled with the power

and flexibility of automation. In a distributed design, the

user has the ability to operate the lighting in the event of a

temporary control system interruption.

A Decentralized Wiring System

Crestron Residential Lighting Design Guide System Design

Doc. 5999F 7

Hybrid Systems

The most efficient and attractive lighting system designs

are a hybrid of centralized processing and distributed

dimmers. This provides the reliability of local control along

with sophisticated centralized control, and limits the

amount of wall clutter

A complete Crestron design is a blend of wireless and

wired, distributed and centralized design in which central

control intelligence and distributed local dimmers form a

reliable whole house lighting control solution.

Large rooms, stairways, and frequently used rooms are

often remotely controlled using the astronomical time

clock or whole house presets. This level of control

requires connection to a central dimming controller. Each

room is equipped with a low voltage or wireless keypad

for lighting preset selection and/or audio/video integration.

All of the dimmers in the system (grouped into the central

controller for wiring convenience) communicate with each

other through the Crestron control system, providing a

complete, integrated solution

Specifying a Lighting

System

The Load Schedule

A lighting system design begins with a collection of

complete information. This includes a detailed floor plan

identifying all of the required elements. The first element

of design, the load schedule, is developed from the floor

plan. The load schedule lists the information on each

electrical load connected to every circuit in an electrical

panel. This primary source of information determines all

of the overall requirements:

 Lighting types, required voltage and current,

dimmed or switched, fluorescent ballast types,

circuit number, normal or emergency, and

locations

 The location and types of user interfaces used

(i.e., dimmers, switches, keypads, iLux™,

infiNET™, and touchpanels)

 The control processor details (larger systems

should use a dedicated lighting control processor)

 The window treatment details, which include

shade/blind motors and relay control (consult

the window treatment manufacturer for control

details).

Required Load Schedule Items

1. Control zone: Controlled circuits that do not need

to be physically wired together, but always operate

in tandem. For example, perimeter lights, sconce

lights and overhead lights all operating together

2. Location of controlled lighting zone, relevant to

building site/drawings, floor designation, and room

name

3. Fixture and/or lamp type of controlled lighting

zone, including any information describing custom

fixtures, undetermined fixtures, dimmable

transformers or fluorescent ballasts, and circuit

breaker numbers. This information can also contain

the number assigned to the controlled circuit

4. Load type of the controlled lighting zone: load types

include incandescent, magnetic low voltage,

electronic low voltage, neon/cold cathode, HID,

dimmable/non-dimmable fluorescent ballast, ceiling

fans, and switched 3-wire motor circuits. This

information is especially important for selecting the

correct Crestron module power rating and type

5. Dimming requirement for the controlled lighting

zone (i.e. whether the lighting level of the

loads/fixtures needs to be ramped up/down or

simply switched on/off). Indicate: “Yes” for

Dimming, and “No” for Non-Dim

6. Emergency designation for the controlled lighting

zone (yes/no; i.e. when a load needs to be assigned

to a separate emergency power feed). These items

are assigned to their own separate dimmer, so they

can be fed with emergency power

7. Voltage rating for the controlled lighting zone tells

the designer the voltage of the electrical feeds

required for that zone, and hence the required

rating for the associated Crestron module.

8. Fixture wattage (watts or power rating per fixture)

with regard to the controlled lighting zone: this is

used to determine the number of fixtures that can

be powered per each Crestron Dimmer Module

channel, in order not to overload the dimmer

beyond its power rating

9. Quantity of fixtures for the controlled lighting zone:

this is useful, along with item #6, in calculating the

total power rating (watts) for that particular

controlled circuit (item #9)

10. Total wattage, or power rating, of the controlled

lighting zone: This is required in order to determine

the total number of Crestron Lighting Module

channels required for that particular zone,

especially if the load of the total number of fixtures

exceeds the rating of a single module channel

NOTE: National and local electrical codes and the

functionality of each user interface must be taken

into consideration. Always install electrical devices

according to the national Electrical Code (NEC), local

codes, and with safety in mind.

Specifying a Lighting System Crestron Residential Lighting Design Guide

Doc. 5999F 10

Residential Lighting Wiring Plan

The wiring plan includes all enclosures and the

interconnecting wiring. The designer determines the

location of the enclosure(s), the route of keypad and

touchpanel connections to the enclosure(s), the route

of the interconnecting cable from the processor to the

other enclosure(s), and the high voltage load routes

to the enclosure or dimmer.

Ensure there are enough connectors and power (PAC2 offers

50W) in the main enclosure for all user interfaces. Each

enclosure filled with dimmers is connected to the main

enclosure and processor using low voltage wire. Dimmer

enclosures are distributed as needed.

Equipment List Specification

The equipment list is based on the requirements collected for

the lighting system in the load schedule. This is a sequential

process. The information gathered in previous steps is

required to complete the next. Once all the steps are

completed, a complete Bill of Material for the system is

created.

 Module selection – based on the number and type

of loads

 Automation enclosure selection – based on the

number of modules and the available space in the

enclosure

 User interface selection – based on the user control

requirements

 Wiring plan – based on the previous steps and the

layout of the environment

 Control processor – based on the size of the system

(large systems should have a dedicated processor)

 Network block selection – based on the layout and

distribution of the loads and user interfaces

 Accessories selection – based on the required

accessories (telephone and alarm systems, HVAC

control, intercom systems, occupancy sensors, etc.)

Ordering a Crestron Residential

Lighting System

These are the steps for ordering a Crestron Residential

lighting control system, regardless of the size.

Each system and module contains the appropriate installation

literature and operation guide.

Steps to order a lighting system:

STEP 1: Survey all controlled lights and loads. In hybrid

systems determine which loads are under local control and

which are to be wired to centralized modules

STEP 2: Determine the number and types of control modules

and terminal blocks needed to control lights and loads based

on the load schedule and wiring plan

STEP 3: Determine the number and type of automation

enclosures required

STEP 4: Determine the number of control processors and

related accessories required

STEP 5: Determine the number and types of keypads, wall

panels, iLux™ devices, infiNET™ wireless devices,

shade/drape controllers, and touchpanels

STEP 6: Determine the wiring accessories, cabling and

power supplies required

STEP 7: Place an order for identified Crestron items

Nearly all required documentation, such as load schedules

and wiring, equipment lists, engraving files and more can

be generated by using the Crestron D3 Pro Lighting and

Automation System Software.

Crestron ships all items to the job site for assembly and

wiring.

NOTE: If engraving is desired on infiNET devices, IT MUST BE

SPECIFIED UPON ORDER. Due to UL restrictions, the button

caps cannot be replaced in the field. Therefore, only new

units must be engraved before leaving the Crestron factory.

CAEN- Series Enclosures

The CAEN Series automation enclosures are designed to house

the Crestron CLX-series of lighting and motor control modules

and PAC2

or PAC2M control systems. CAEN enclosures are

available in an assortment of sizes, suitable for surface or flush

wall mount installation. Each model has been engineered to

provide a clean and manageable installation with abundant

provisions for wire termination and electrical knockouts.

CAEN automation enclosures are designed to use space

efficiently by supporting over a hundred possible circuits in the

largest model. Both centralized and distributed configurations

are possible. A single PAC2 control system installed in a

central enclosure can support numerous satellite extension

enclosures distributed throughout a residence or commercial

facility. Interconnection of the complete network of enclosures

requires just one circulating Cresnet® cable. Dozens of

keypads, touchpanels, wall box dimmers, shade controllers,

and other peripherals can also be terminated within an

enclosure, with separate compartments provided for high and

low voltage wiring.

Crestron lighting and automation systems are completely

convection cooled for silent and reliable operation. A vented

front cover is included with every enclosure.

All models are constructed of 16-gauge galvanized steel and

are pre-drilled for mounting of the PAC2, PAC2M, terminal

blocks, CLX modules, CLT power supplies, and CAEN-BLOCK

terminal block.

Additional non-CLX lighting modules and third-party contactors

may be installed using CAEN-UMP Crestron universal mounting

plates. Grounding blocks and low voltage partitions included.

CAEN enclosures are also well suited for all types of Class 2

and Class 3 applications including voice and data structured

wiring, security, and RF signal distribution (as permitted by

applicable codes).

CAEN enclosures are UL and C-UL listed. If you require a

complete UL listed panel, Crestron offers this service through

its UL508 listed panel shop, providing complete in-factory

system configuration and assembly.

NOTE: The PAC2 occupies two module spaces in a double-

wide enclosure and one module space in a single-wide.

CAEN Installation

In accordance with all national and local codes a licensed

electrician must mount the enclosure. Special attention

must be made to NEC Article 110.26(A)(2) concerning

minimum work space requirements.

When choosing components to place in CAEN enclosures,

refer to the table on the previous page to ensure that the

maximum weight capacity is not exceeded. The weight of

each module is listed on the product page on the Crestron

website.

CAUTION: These enclosures house equipment that

requires air cooling. Therefore, mount in a well-ventilated

area. The ambient temperature range should be 32°F

to 104°F (0°C to 40°C). The relative humidity should

range from 0% to 90% (non-condensing). Furthermore,

allow adequate clearance in front of the vented cover

for servicing and ventilation.

NOTES: Unless otherwise indicated, the lighting system

specified in this guide is modular, requiring assembly in

the field by a licensed electrician in accordance with all

national and local codes. If you require a UL listed panel,

Crestron offers this service through its UL listed panel

shop. This includes complete in-factory system

configuration and assembly by Crestron for an additional

fee. All commercial lighting systems include factory

assembled, UL listed panels.

Install modules into the lowest available spaces and

continue toward the top of the enclosure.

Enclosures are intended for indoor use only.

When flush mounting, 5/8” drywall is preferred.

CAEN Enclosure Framing

CAEN enclosures 2X1, 4X1, and 7X1 fit between standard

wall stud spacing (16 inches on center).

CAEN 2X1, 4X1, and 7X1 Framing

CAEN enclosures 4X2 and 7x2 require framing

modification. The weight of the enclosure rests on a sill

plate, and does not distort the surrounding wallboard.

CAEN Wiring

CAUTION: All power feeds must be protected by 15 or 20

amp circuit breakers (supplied by others).

NOTES: Use copper conductors only – rated 75°C

All wiring must be installed in accordance with all local

and national electrical codes.

Two snap bushings are supplied. If required, insert into

knockouts at the bottom of the enclosure to prevent

damage to low voltage wiring.

Class 2 field wires must be kept separate. Refer to the

illustration showing singlewide and doublewide wiring

details. Areas for high voltage (Class 1) wiring are shown

along the top and side(s) of the unit. The lower area is

reserved for low voltage (Class 2) wiring.

Tighten all CLT-Series terminal block screws and

grounding terminal block screws to the torque specified in

the Torque Data table.

CAUTION: Failure to properly tighten the screws may

result in poor electrical connection and overheating of the

terminals.

Universal Mounting Plates

Crestron Universal Mounting Plates (CAEN-UMP Series) are a complete line of

accessory plates, which allow mounting of non-Crestron equipment to any Crestron

A

utomation Enclosure (CAEN Series). Third-party products such as phone and alarm

systems can be mounted to these plates. The advantage to using the CAEN-UMP is

that a variety of sizes are available and each plate occupies the same area as one, two

or four Crestron lighting modules (CLX-series).

The size corresponds to the number of module spaces and their arrangement within

the enclosure. For example, CAEN-UMP2X2 occupies four module positions and

CAEN-UMP1x1 occupies one module position. The others (CAEN-UMP2X1 and 1X2)

occupy two module positions. Refer to the illustration for an example of plate location

and orientation within a double-wide enclosure. The table below lists the dimensions

and weight for each CAEN-UMP model. The CAEN-UMP must be mounted in

accordance with all national and local codes.

Use the four supplied (8x1/4”) screws to attach a CAEN-UMP to an enclosure. Crestron

recommends that the keyholes on the plates be located toward the outer edge of the

enclosure,as shown in the illustration. As a result, the flanges of the plates do not

overlap each other when positioning any combination of

CAEN-UMP2X1s, CAEN-UMP1X1s, or lighting modules side-by-side in an enclosure.

NOTES: Adhere to Class 1 versus Class 2 wiring requirements when considering the

equipment attached to the CAEN-UMP in an enclosure.

Third-party equipment attached to a CAEN-UMP within a Crestron Automated

Enclosure should not be considered part of the Crestron system.
